swapped my matic for POL the day the migration opened and watched it bleed to 0.01 since. 0.34 high to basically a rounding error is criminal
same here, held through the rename thinking the token swap meant a reset. it meant nothing lol
same. i dca’d on the way down from 0.34 like a moron. only thing keeping me sane is staking the POL and pretending the yield cancels out the drawdown
An ADX of 97.9 on a coin trading at 0.01 tells me the downtrend is basically exhausted, so the SELL signal arrives late. Still, with the death cross and price under both MAs, staying out is fair.
a backtest that returns exactly -100% is the most honest table ive seen on one of these all week
-97.5% off the 0.34 high and still Stage 4. held MATIC since 2021 through the POL swap and this one hurts to look at
The swap itself did not cause the bleed though. Agglay and the POL utility push just landed in the worst alt market in years
held MATIC from the 2.9 days and the POL migration gave holders nothing but a new ticker for the same bleed. Agglay was supposed to be the catalyst, 0.01 says otherwise
1 bull vs 9 bear factors and they still label it high conviction lol. ADX 97.9 on a 0.01 coin, trend is undeniable but honestly what is left to sell at this point
@0xdowntrend nine bear factors and the only bull one is basically the chart is too dead to fall further. classic trend exhaustion setup but the SELL label still feels like closing the barn door
